CDFtp+ running on HP-UX PA_RISC uses IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ Technology Edition, Version 6.0.14. Of the issues in JRE 7.0.9 that were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates for October 2015, CDFtp+ is vulnerable to: CVE-2015-4872: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Security component has no confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact. Of the issues in JRE 7.0.9 that were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in January 2016 and includes the vulnerability commonly referred to as “SLOTH”, CDFtp+ is vulnerable to: CVE-2016-0475: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Libraries component has partial confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact. CVE-2015-7575: The TLS protocol could allow weaker than expected security caused by a collision attack when using the MD5 hash function for signing a ServerKeyExchange message during a TLS handshake. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to impersonate a TLS server and obtain credentials. This vulnerability is commonly referred to as “SLOTH”. Of the issues in JRE 6.0.14 that were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates for October 2015, CDFtp+ is vulnerable to: CVE-2015-4872: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Security component has no confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact.

The application does not directly specify the fully qualified path to a dynamic-linked library when running on Microsoft Windows. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file from a WebDAV or SMB share using a vulnerable application, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability via a specially-crafted library to execute arbitrary code on the system. 005) RTC518198 / APAR IT17607 commit date: 19 Oct 2016 -------------------------------------------------------- IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ uses IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ (JRE) Version 7.0.9.30 (6.0.16.20 on the HP-UX PA_RISC platform). These JREs are vulnerable to the following issue, disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in April 2016: CVE-2016-3426: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JCE component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information resulting in a partial confidentiality impact using unknown attack vectors. 006) RTC539217 / APAR IT20756 commit date: 24 May 2017 -------------------------------------------------------- IBM Sterling Connect:Direct FTP+ uses IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ (JRE) Version 7.0.9.50 (6.0.16.30 on the HP-UX PA_RISC platform). These JREs are vulnerable to the following issues, disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in January 2017: CVE-2016-5546: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Libraries component has no confidentiality impact, high integrity impact, and no availability impact. CVE-2016-5548: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Libraries component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information resulting in a high confidentiality impact using unknown attack vectors. CVE-2016-5549: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Libraries component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information resulting in a high confidentiality impact using unknown attack vectors. CVE-2016-5547: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Libraries component could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service resulting in a low availability impact using unknown attack vectors. CVE-2016-5552: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Networking component has no confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact. CVE-2016-2183: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in the DES/3DES cipher, used as a part of the SSL/TLS protocol. By capturing large amounts of encrypted traffic between the SSL/TLS server and the client, a remote attacker able to conduct a man-in-the- middle attack could exploit this vulnerability to recover the plaintext data and obtain sensitive information. This vulnerability is known as the SWEET32 Birthday attack.
